Open Focus Attention Training
Abstract
This article describes the role of attention training and brainwave synchrony training in the resolution of stress- and pain-related symptoms. It describes the origin of Open Focus attention training as it was distilled from observations of space-generated brain wave activity. It provides a map of the various attentional styles and associated EEG activity.

“While biofeedback is an established method to strengthen weakened physiological processes (e.g., hand strength weakness; Garcia- Hernandez et al., 2018), it can also be used to affect psychological states, such as emotions (e.g., anxiety; Vitasari et al., 2011) or attention (Fehmi and Shor, 2013) and thus provides a valuable tool in psychotherapy (Clough and Casey, 2011;Lehrer, 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
